Plot summary
Maria Cecília is the 17-year-old daughter of Dr. Werneck, a wealthy and powerful man in Rio de Janeiro. When her car breaks down near an isolated junkyard, she is raped by five men. Her family decides that she must marry, and Werneck puts his partner Peixoto in charge of finding her a husband among the employees of the family company. Peixoto chooses Edgard, a single man of simple means, and makes him an unusual offer: marry Maria Cecília and receive a large sum, as a gift or a dowry. Edgard has his own moral principles and is in love with his neighbor Ritinha, so the proposal divides him between greed and his values.
